Eze 34:25 And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
It is the height of
grace that Jehovah should be in covenant with man, I feeble, sinful,
and dying creature.
Yet the LORD has solemnly entered into a faithful
compact with us, and from that covenant He will never turn aside.
In
virtue of this covenant we are safe.
As lions and wolves are driven off
by shepherds, so shall all noxious influences be chased away.
The LORD
will give us rest from disturbers and destroyers; the evil beasts shall
cease out of the land.
O LORD, make this Thy promise good even now!
The
LORD's people are to enjoy security in places of the greatest exposure:
Wilderness and woods are to be as pastures and folds to the flock of
Christ.
If the LORD does not change the place for the better, He will
make us the better in the place.
The wilderness is not a place to dwell
in, but the LORD can make it so;
In the woods one feels bound to watch
rather than to sleep, and yet the LORD giveth His beloved sleep even
there.
Nothing without or within should cause any fear to the child of
GOD.
By faith the wilderness can become the suburbs of heaven and the
woods the vestibule of glory.
~Charles Spurgeon~
